JESUS SAYS--
But a few of you have kept your clothes clean. You will walk with Me, clothed in white, because you are worthy to do so." Revelation 3:4
Hebrews 10:26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, 27 but a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.
"Keep working out your own salvation with fear and trembling.”—Philippians 2:12. Think: Why would I have fear and trembling? What would cause that deep sense of fear and trembling? Holy Spirit conviction of sin? It's not biblical to tell the drunkard he wont be free ever, just keep on drinking! Do you tell the drug dealer to keep on dealing drugs? No! Repent and be sorry enough to quit sinning and Jesus Christ by the Holy Spirit will give you power to resist the devil and he will flee from you! There is so much power in this truth when you step out on faith and do it, that the devil satan tries very very very hard to hide it from all believers with the latest term "nobody's perfect."
When you meet CREATOR YHWH who became human as YAHSHUA MESSIAH our LORD JESUS CHRIST, and feel HIS HOLY SPIRIT in your heart, mind and soul, there should be a change in you immediately to begin a new life! If there is no change in your life and you keep on sinning, then you did not repent like Jesus commanded. Repent means be sorry enough to quit sinning, do a 180 turn! How do you expect Him to let you into Heaven where there is no sin, when you doubt that He came to set you free from sin? Whom Jesus sets free is free indeed! If you don't believe it's possible, it's because you haven't stepped on faith to believe! Prove to yourself that Jesus the Holy Spirit living inside you is more powerful than satan! Jesus turns sinners into Saints, not less of sinners! Stop listening to false teaching from weak weary deceived people who say nobody's perfect - it's satan's lie from the pit of hell!
When you hear of awesome power from God to overcome the greatest struggle to humankind, respond "I believe, I receive!" Praise God for victory over all sin and temptations! How? The power of the Holy Spirit living inside you to resist the devil and he will flee from you! Now I declare you are set free from all deception in Jesus name!
The majority of Christians are believing sinners. They believe they are saved but they have never repented of sin. They live like Satan and still love the world. They belong to the church but not to Jesus. They quote the scriptures but also know everything about celebrities, movies and the latest fashion. A person who knows Jesus does not sin and is not interested in the things of the world.
Justified by faith? Only if you prove that you truly believe in Jesus. Those who believe in Jesus obey Him, stop sinning, deny themselves and follow Him. They obey Him at all cost; rejection, persecution even death. Will you be justified by your faith or do you give in to sin and temptation? When you follow the desires of your sinful nature, your life will produce these evil results: sexual immorality, impure thoughts, eagerness for lustful pleasure, idolatry, participation in demonic activities, hostility, quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, indecision, feeling that everyone is wrong except those in your own little group, envy, drunkenness, wild parties, and other kinds of sin. Anyone living that sort of life will not inherit the kingdom of God. (Galatians 5:19-21)
This wicked generation has no fear of God, and even those who call themselves Christians, for if they feared God they would have repented and stop sinning. People go on as though God does not exist. Most people are only concerned about their own lust and pleasures, not about the kingdom of God. However, when the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on the earth? Luke18:8
If you think grace means you can keep on sinning, then you are like a lamp with no oil. It is by faith in Christ that we are made righteous by obedience. Faith without works is dead. Faith leads to obedience. Jesus said many times, "Go and sin no more." Then when you ask forgiveness and repent, God sees you as clean and whole, beautiful and treasured, righteous and His precious child who loves Him by obeying His commandments, just as Jesus declared, "If you love Me, obey My commands."
St. John 5:14 Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee.
Lord Jesus Christ has reserved the legal right to say "Though you called Me 'Lord, Lord,' I will say 'Depart from Me, I never knew you.'" So we have two legal parts to salvation, 1. The application to enter Heaven (when we ask forgiveness and repent); and 2. The relationship walk (working out our salvation with fear and trembling, overcoming all temptations as proof of the Holy Spirit living inside you). Lord Jesus Christ reserved the legal right to deny a soul's application into Heaven if they failed the relationship walk. Faith without works is dead. This was referring to the relationship. This is important to understand for every believer. Jesus Christ proved this truth when He reserved the legal right to deny salvation to those who say, "Lord, Lord," yet did not live holy. Do not think eternity is a game of grace to continue in sin and addictions!!! Do not continue in sins!!!! Be set free right now and pray, confess all your sins and temptations and addictions to God, ask for the Holy Spirit to live inside you and give you power over all sin temptations and addictions, and He will cleanse you from all unrighteousness! 1 John 1:9
Fleeing from sin isn't earning anything. Fleeing from sin shows our love for Christ, and it's expected of those who obey His commands. By faith in Lord Jesus Christ we are put into the race of faith. We are expected to run it. The Holy Spirit helps us in the race, however if we fall in the race we must confess the sin, forsake it and get back up and continue without sin. If a Christian starts to practice sin, the Christian can walk away from salvation and end up in hell.
Nobody can claim salvation until JESUS judges us at the last day, so until then we are working out our salvation. It's like a man who is caught stealing a car and is arrested. He tells the judge that he is sorry for stealing the car. Now the judge says to him, "The court offers you grace and forgives you and you may go free. If you go out and break the law again, you will be caught and pay the full penalty." What do you think the judge is going to do? He won't give you grace again as you have made a mockery of his grace. The judge will say to him, "You are like a dog that has gone back to its vomit and eats it." When we are truly born again we have no desire to sin. Satan will come with many temptations to sin. But we fight the good fight and overcome these temptations. It's not easy, but the Holy Spirit gives us strength to overcome the temptations.
1 Corinthians 10:13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.
1 Corinthians 15:34 Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame.
Need proof? Read Romans chapter 6, Galatians 5, then 1 John chapters 1 to 3. Now be set free from all sin and temptations in the name of Jesus Christ! True victory!
To sin is a decision. To obey Jesus and stop sinning is also a decision.
